myasperations 11-4-24

    I am honored to have served as a Guest Designer for Beccy Muir at Beccy’s Place and am now one of her “Contributors” (which means that she provides me with digis, or clear stamp sets several times a year and I get to create cards/other items with them!) It is always fun to see the images Beccy invites me to use. 
    This time, the dig set is named, “Snugglin Weather.” When I saw this set, I envisioned a card where the little snow baby shyly smiles at the snowman and got to work. After experimenting with a few different folds, I decided that a Pop Up Step Front Panel Card would provide the depth and layering I desired. (Beccy offers dozens and dozens of tutorials on paper folds, and the one I used is HERE, except I didn’t need the front panel, so I only used the first 8 steps.) I printed, colored, and fussy-cut the snowpersons, then positioned them on the card. A dozen gifts cut from patterned paper frame the sentiment and help fill out the bottom of the card in a fun and festive way!
Supplies: 

·   Card Base-Instruction from Beccy’s Place (Pop Up Step Front Panel Card)

·   Digis and Sentiment- Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Snugglin Weather)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Gifts trimmed from Patterned Paper from my stash

·   All other items from my stash.

   I love coffee, and know that I’m not alone in that… so I regularly make coffee themed cards. This card features one of the first digital images that I ever found on the web. I posted a card made with it on my blog back in May 2017 (HERE.) I also just discovered that it was featured on the Dearie Dolls website HERE so this pudgy little chef has a special place in my heart!       
    This time I put the cute little chef on a Christmas-themed card so I could enter it into the 2024 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Challenge.

Outlawz Challenge- Festive Friday (Christmas)

    It features a cute little origami fox from a set of 12 origami “critters” that I found on sale at Oriental Trading Company a while ago. The original fox is cute. But I did a bit of fussy-cutting to create the look of “fur.”  When he looked nice and fluffy, I set him aside to create the front of my card using items from my background stash. When finished, I nestled the little fox into the scene. I had fun decorating the inside sentiment with a brown doily, plus assorted images fussy-cut from scraps of patterned paper.  
     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Outlawz Color Challenge: Photo Inspiration  (My card features orange, red, and light blue.)
Supplies: 

·   Origami Fox Digi- Oriental Trading Company (Everyday Origami Booklets)

·   Background scene and front sentiment are from my scrapbook stash

·   Inside Sentiment- We Are 3 Digital Sentiments  (Autumn)  Sadly company is no longer in business

·   All other items from my stash.
